SYDNEY HARBOUR BRIDGE.
-o>THE CALLING OF TENDERS. END OF A LONG DISPUTE. [from our own correspondent-] SYDNEY, Dcc.l. The fight for the North Shore Bridge across Sydney Harbour has been a long and arduous, one, but the Parliamentary enthusiasts who stood by it have the supreme satisfaction of seeing it now well on its way to consummation. With the seal of Parliamentary sanction upon it, tenderers will now have no qualms in submitting" quotations. The big man behind the bridge on the non-political side, the chief engineer, Mr. Bradfield, confidently predicts that trains and motorcars ought' to be running over the bridge early in 1930. • Tenders close next September, but it is not likely that the successful one can be accepted before March, 1924. The contractors- must undertake to complete the work within seven years of the notification of acceptance, of their tender, but Mr. Bradfield thinks that the work will probably be done in five years. Whether the cantilever or arch type of bridge will finally be chosen —this is one of the most acute of all the controversal side issues —cannot be determined until tenders aro received.
